CSU Ontario School of Education
Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies
Information for Applicants
Admissions Information
The Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies is a four-year Honours program that builds on the Diploma of Early Childhood Education offered at Ontario Colleges, in particular Mohawk College of Applied Arts & Technology and Sheridan Institute of Technology & Advanced learning, with whom CSU has worked collaboratively to develop this program.
Applicants who have graduated with the required academic standing are eligible to apply and will be granted recognition of their existing two-year ECE diploma-level qualification.
Minimum admission requirements are that applicants have attained their ECE Diploma within the last five years, and have an average percentage grade of 70 across their Diploma program.
Applicants must request transcripts to be sent directly from the diploma-granting Institute directly to the CSU Ontario campus as verification of their academic standing.
Additional requirements, as per the ‘Application Process’ document, may be used to determine final selection.
- experience in the early childhood field since completion of ECE diploma
- written personal statement addressing two questions
A small number of places in the program will be available to applicants who completed their ECE diploma studies more than five years ago, but who can demonstrate substantial exemplary professional experience.
The Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies is offered under the written consent of the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities for the period from 17th April 2009 to 17th April 2014. Prospective students are responsible for satisfying themselves that the programs and the degrees will be appropriate to their needs (e.g. acceptable to potential employers, professional licensing bodies or other educational institutions).
